Hi.

So in an effort to help answer and to build on the evidence piece, There are many different ways that we provide and promote civic mobility and one being through a Quni TV.
0:35:55
We have a Quni forum where we invite and host elected officials and other members of the political bodies to come in and speak and educate students and speak to different issues and concerns that are happening.
0:36:07
We also have our internship programming through the Edward Tebragowski programming.
0:36:11
So that's internships with local officials, state officials, they assembly.
0:36:15
I will admit we would love to have a better partnership with the council and have a stronger partnership.
0:36:20
So I look forward to connecting and learning how we can do that in a more effective way.
0:36:24
But internships allow students to learn about the process, understand why it's important to participate so we have those opportunities as well.
